Pan African financial institution, United Bank for Africa Plc, has again rewarded its loyal customers in its Bumper Savings Promo in line with its unwavering commitment towards prioritising its customers’ financial well-being as well as boosting savings culture in Nigeria.
Since the bank commenced the promo in 2020, over 200 winners have emerged from the initiative that continues to reward loyalty and encourage customers to cultivate a savings habit that helps to stay afloat especially during challenging times.
The promo is open to account holders of the bank from the six geographical zones in Nigeria, and customers only need to open a UBA Bumper account and save a minimum of N5,000 in a month to qualify.
The more multiples of N5,000 they save, the higher their chances of winning cash prizes and other juicy benefits.
The electronic raffle draw, which is the seventh since inception, was held at Kairo’s Hub on Wednesday, and was witnessed by relevant regulatory bodies, including the National Lottery Regulatory Commission and Consumer Protection Council officials, who were on ground to ensure transparency and accountability.
Winners who emerged from the draw included Olunwa Osita Ambrose, who smiled home with the star prize of a whooping N2 million, while Saheed Adeshina Adediran won N1.2 million rent for a year.
Adewunmi Olaniyi Sobowale, another lucky winner, got N500,000 shopping allowance.
Others who equally smiled home with N100,000 cash prizes were Bayode Peter Oluwaseun, Archibong Unyime Gift, Yakubu Fali, Alaegbu Promise Uchenna, Onyenwenyi Chidimma Confidence, Maria Obianuju Onyeneke, Emmanuel Kalu, Aramide Afolabi Temitope, Ijeoma Juliet Okika, Taiwo Micheal Odofin, Daina Ochekema Egbe, Ighodalo Thompson, Mercy Effiong, Alice Gabriel, Imrana Bello, Onyedika Promise Umeji, Uzoma Chibuike Timothy, Adewole James Idowu, Opeyemi John Kolawole and Israel Ojima Daniel.
Olunwa Osita Ambrose, who won N2 million, could not hide his excitement when he was contacted over the phone.
He screamed “thank you God” over and over and took time to appreciate UBA for the wonderful gesture, saying: “This is indeed great.
“Thank you UBA.
“You people cannot understand the great impact you have made in my life with this reward.
“It will transform my life greatly.
“May God almighty bless this bank and all those who conceptualised the UBA Bumper Account Savings Promo.”
“I am committed to UBA for life.”
UBA’s Head of Personal Banking, Ogechi Altraide, who presented gifts to some of the winners who were physically present at the event, told customers that UBA places them at the very heart of its business, which, according to her, is why the bank remains passionate about their overall success and added that this has consistently been proven in numerous ways.
Altraide said this was why the bank has continually invested in cutting-edge technology to improve its service delivery and its overall aim of delighting customers.
She said: “With customer-centric promos like the UBA Bumper promo, we have created an ever-increasing list of millionaires who continue to join the UBA customer millionaire club.
“For this edition of the promo, we decided to pick the month of October, which is the month of independence commemoration, so we can give more Nigerians reasons to cheer while celebrating the country’s independence anniversary.
“We know that this promo will put lasting smiles on the faces of our customers and will also assure them that UBA truly values them.”
Head, Marketing, Diana Ubah, also spoke of UBA’s passionate commitment to give back to its customers, especially during these challenging economic periods, where people need all the support they can get to make life more meaningful.
Ubah said: “I have witnessed a lot of events like this and I must say the happiness and live changing moments that comes with a customer getting an unexpected reward is indeed a special one!
“To this end, I encourage those who are yet to join the winning team, should do so quickly.
“Without any iota of doubt, you always win with UBA.”
